Why I wrote this book

Over the years, I have trained, consulted and worked with organisations on ISO/IEC 27001. One question came up again and again:

"I understand the standard, but what do I actually do?"

That question stayed with me.

This book is my attempt to make the implementation journey more practical, structured and easier to follow.

Why this book is different

ISO 27001 does not have to be difficult to understand.

I wanted this book to feel different from a typical standards book. It is written for people who want to understand what ISO/IEC 27001 means in the real world, and what they actually need to do to implement it

What if ISO 27001 could actually be interesting?

Why explain a dry subject with complicated language when you can explain it through something everyone understands?

In this book, I have tried to make ISO/IEC 27001 practical, conversational and, occasionally, a little fun. Even concepts such as risk treatment can be explained through simple, familiar situations from everyday life.

The aim is simple: make ISO 27001 easier to understand, easier to remember and easier to implement.

You don't need a technical background to follow the book. Just an open mind, a little curiosity, and a willingness to look at ISO 27001 differently.

This is ISO 27001 explained as a conversation, not a lecture.

Implement it yourself : ISO 27001 implementation does not always have to mean bringing in an external consultant.

With the right guidance, knowledge and practical tools, organisations can build and implement their ISMS using their own people.

This book is designed to help you do exactly that — step by step, with practical examples, guidance and ready-to-use tools.

Learn it. Implement it. Build it yourself.

What you will find in the book

No Technical Expertise Needed

The book focuses on the management and implementation aspects of ISO/IEC 27001 without assuming that you are an information security specialist.

A conversation

The book is written in a straightforward, conversational style. The aim is to explain the standard rather than simply repeat it.

Practical Examples

Requirements are brought to life through practical situations and examples that help you see how they can work in an organisation.

Every clause follows a practical four-part approach

1. The Summary
What does the ISO clause actually require?

2. The Explanation
What does it mean, and how might it look in a real organisation?

3. Implementation Guidance
What should you actually do to put the requirement into practice?

4. Toolkit
Ready-to-use templates, checklists, examples and practical tools to help you move from understanding to implementation.

So this is not a book you simply read and put back on the shelf.

It is a book you can keep beside you while implementing ISO/IEC 27001.

If you are planning to implement ISO/IEC 27001:2022, I hope this book will become one of the books you keep within reach.

About the Author

Dr. Swapan Purkait is an information security consultant, trainer and author with 30 years of experience in teaching, implementing and auditing ISO management systems. He holds a PhD and has worked with professionals and organisations across different industries and countries.

A large part of his work has been in the training room, where he has always tried to make complex standards easier to understand and connect them with situations people encounter in their everyday working lives. His training sessions are known for being practical, conversational and full of real-world examples rather than simply going through the words of a standard.

His experience of working on both sides of the table, as a consultant and implementer as well as an auditor, has given him a practical understanding of what organisations need to do, where they commonly struggle and what auditors look for.

He has a particular interest in taking what can sometimes be a dry and complex subject and making it easier to understand and apply.

Get ISO 27001 Certified brings that experience together. The book reflects the questions he has been asked in training sessions, the challenges he has seen during implementation and auditing, and the practical lessons he has gathered over the years.

The aim is simple: to make ISO/IEC 27001 easier to understand, easier to implement and a little less intimidating.
